  1. storage is being taken by Xbox for no reason


    I recently purchased gamepass and installed sea of thieves 74 GB on drive E and the realized 74 GB storage got taken both from drive E AND drive C! I uninstalled sea of thieves and the Xbox app, I did my best and deleted every possible temp or remaining file I could, but there is still 148 GB of mine taken and there is no trace of it as if it's laundered, you must understand, I'm furious. is this what I get for purchasing your services? please guide me and help me free that 148 GB 74 gb on drive e and 74 gb on drive c as fast as possible. thank you

    :)

    Xbox 360 cracked

    Even though the hack is very complex, and should not be done by you and me, but the crack will let you play back-ups of your Xbox 1 and Xbox 360 games, and will boot all normal xbox games, yes all, not just the onces on the compatibilty list. So we are one step closer.
